I was in a chatroom and joked about them adding “AI” to notepad. Someone in the room was like “wtf did they seriously?!” and I said “oh no, I don’t use Windows 11 but there’s no way lawl”

Someone else sent a screenshot of their fucking AI in notepad

the suggestion that you should maybe write down an eight digit hex string "in case you need it" is just adding insult to injury. i guess anything less than a 32bit space for error codes would be insufficient

Windows Clock doesn't have analog mode any more. Nor does it show seconds. And sometimes it just doesn't show time because it needs to update some garbage, or the app needs to be updated, or...

Long story short, I had to make a clock of my own.

I feel gratuitously attacked.

I have my own server running in the cloud to get my wallpapers.

Ok I think I'm the problem lol

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

I'd love more problems like you in this world

if you want free operating system, try using linux instead of using pirated microslop

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

microsoft offers the os for free*

*free if you dont value your time, its so much harder to install than linux

Seriously. If you're not using N++, you're notepadding wrong.

I never use notepad, it wasn't really good in the past and it looks like it hasn't got any better

When did Right Click -> Set as Wallpaper -> Desktop involve writing code?
Yes, older versions of Linux may have had that setting buried in a config file somewhere, which required editing in a text editor. And that sort of UI was shit, is shit and will always be shit. But, if we're going to bring up old versions of an OS, let's talk about Windows Me.

That's the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.

To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows... you just need to update to the last version.

If you build makethe Win11 ISO using Rufus instead of Microsoft's own Media Creation Tool, you have options to prevent this bullshit from happening.

I've been using Win11 with an offline account for years, and everything works as it should, even the MS Store. I never have to deal with Microsoft Account bullshit ever.

[–] phx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I mean, if you're going that far you might as well start considering just leaving Microsoft's bullshit OS entirely

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Throw the MASSGRAVE software in there too. Afaik they're safe and work incredibly.

I still have record of my reaction when I learned Windows Media Player had paid DLC on Windows 10. I made a video about it.

I literally can not fucking wait for them to start charging microtransactions for items under the "accessories" menu, like games, or tools like the calculator and notepad. M$ has been the best advertiser for Linux this past decade, and they're only getting better at advertising it, I know that's coming at some point.

Buy ten "Undo's" for just ~~$4.99~~ $2.99!

Just imagine separating bored office staff the world over from Solitaire, behind even a modest 99c paywall and a moderate barrier to entry like "having to install a third-party solitaire application".

People would be calling for Nadella to be hung like Mussolini within weeks.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

There is already a subscription for no ads in solitaire IIRC…

Fuckin' windows store apps... giant unpatchable buggy mess...

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

Notepad was the final straw that made me switch

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago

I change my wallpaper pretty much exactly the same way I used to do it in Windows though?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Windows users. Mmm! How did it get this far, hm?

Well. See you on the other side then :D
